    The 2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon is less than a week out from its big debut in the Big Apple, and today Dodge has dropped the final bit of info in its long-drawn-out teaser campaign for the car. It concerns the car’s fuel system. Here, too, will be another production car first: a fuel system designed to run on 100+ high-octane fuel normally reserved for race and dedicated track cars. The high-octane fuel can already be found at many major gas stations but if you prefer regular 91-octane fuel, a button on the dash lets you swap between the two. Note, the dash switch plus a new...

  • Teaser for 2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon debuting at 2017 New York auto show

    The 2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon will be one of the meanest sounding cars on the road, and that's not only due to the car’s uprated supercharged 6.2-liter Hellcat V-8. You'll notice a distinct exhaust burble in the latest teaser video. The sound is partially due to the car’s advanced torque reserve launch system which is active whenever the car is in launch mode and there's more than a 1,000 revs running. The Demon is the first road car to feature such a system which is normally relegated to dedicated drag racers. It's designed to boost air flow through the engine prior to...

  • Scene from 'The Fate of The Furious'

    UPDATE: It's probably not a coincidence. A video has surfaced that shows Vin Diesel and a pair of Challengers with a Demon-looking badge visible on one of the cars. Picture below. The latest season of "Sherlock" came to a strange close, so we're putting our deductive logic to the test if you don't mind.

(Vin Diesel is already here, we think.) The 2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon is predicated on turning solid tires into noise and...
